It does take a while to get on to it. It can be frustrating but it can be fun. I had great success the first year I tried it and had a big failure the second year. It has a fairly steep learning curve, but once you get it down, it is worth it.
That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking!
They don't. Think about how many nuts a mature tree produces every year. Very, Very, few of those nuts every turn into trees. When I was growing chestnuts, most years, about 75% of the nuts I started with made it to a 3 gal RB2 container. Some would not germinate. Some would get some kind of root disease when young. Some just would not be strong growers and get culled.
